Private Equity

London, UK — February 23, 2009

Summary

In 2008, Europe was affected by the deteriorating global conditions, with investment activity in the first half down a third from a year earlier. In the second half of the year, as the credit crunch became a full-scale financial crisis and recession spread across the globe, private equity activity slowed even further. What does the future hold for the private equity sector? How will the global economy effect private equity investing in Europe? Join a discussion with Chicago Booth alumni and private equity professionals who will share their expertise and perspective on the current private equity world, and hear their take on the future of the industry.
